Actually Xperia Neo is way too expensive here in Bulgaria - it's around 500 euro, compared to ( for example ) HTC Desire HD - 400 euro, HTC Desire S - 380 euro, Samsung Galaxy S - 320 euro, LG Optimus 2X - 490 euro. Having such a high price, it's not a surprise that no one is buying Sony Ericsson's phones. Not to mention Arc's price - 550 euro and Xperia Plays's price 530 euro! That's DAMN expensive...

Keep in mind that all of those models are not selling officially in Bulgaria. That someone is importing them and selling them overpriced in not a SE fault.

AFAIK All new 2011 Xperia line is experiencing shortages duo to Japan's earthquake crisis which stopped SE from receiving crucial parts these phones requires with no alternative source...
some countries like Australia, Bulgaria, some ME contries ( including Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, etc.. ) and a of other countries didn't receive the phone(s) officially, some other countries did have the phone(s) but only in limited quantity like for example UAE and KSA and you may or not find what you're looking for.
lately Sony Ericsson ME Facebook posted that some phones like Arc & Neo will regain their mass availability in July & August...
Personally I think the Eximor sensor has been one of main reasons for the delay I think these sensors are made in Japan and production was heavily affected by the earthquake. that's why Play doesn't have the same shortage problem as what Arc and Neo have as it doesn't use that sensor

Well, let see if X8 will run 2.3 in the future and another word eating for

for good people will happy for this
Sony provide some nice resources for them, this time I hope Ericsson will as well. I mean NovaThor 9600
As for material, at least not nightmare finger magnet like glossy, it would be my pleasure and don't feel cheap somehow
I don't feel Japan market as hero but probably above average because it tough competition with Sharp as well many others
Last Q1 financial result, I read that

borrowed some money worth 375m (total of 604m euro) (probably cause of Japan's disaster)
they will have at least 1-2 more years to stay up and have another fight, so it no resources for R&D

pity you Eldar
About recycle design, every manufacture always do why point out only

and

do less, I don't agreed with him this matter.

earns top spot in term of design if

going to follow trend it will be kind of suicide.
About marketing, I think Eldar assume this based on his regional news not that global.
But it might be good idea if they want to reduce some expenditure during bad times.

Nice to see some info, especially the part about x8; smart move! Eldar is mixing personal thoughts with facts though. Why would Bert say things that could hurt the company and why would he think the partners need to know that?
"3. Product line for 2012 is not clear.
SE havent enough resources in R&D for the whole product line. 8-9 models with some variants."
Personal opinion, Bert probably said they are going with 8-9 models
"Company will lost market share worldwide in next 4-5 quarters. In 2q se will show lost in volume/money. No profit worldwide."
Bulltshit. Why would he say that, and how would he even know that now. Bert always say they will loose market share but profits will go up. Eldar is making his own assumption as usual

So what Eldar meant was that there will be an Android version update for X8, an updated model-successor of X8, or both?
